7 Fun Activities & Games in Newport That You Shouldn't Miss

September 12, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

With its ideal location on the magnificently rugged Oregon Coast, the entire city of Newport is a natural observatory that offers a number of fun and educational activities for the whole family. Spend the morning exploring tide pools, combing the beach for fossils and spotting marine life in their natural habitats. Then head over to the Oregon Coast Aquarium where you can pet an octopus and walk through a glass tunnel surrounded by sharks. Newport is also home to two lighthouses, one of which is the tallest on the Oregon Coast. Historic Nye Beach, with its colorful cottages and laid-back atmosphere, is the perfect spot for a picnic and a quick rest from all the sightseeing.

Escape Rooms Newport

An escape room is a fully immersive live adventure game in which players of all ages can attempt to solve a series of puzzles and other challenges using clues, hints and strategy to complete the objectives at hand. Players are given a set time limit to unveil the secret plot which is hidden within the room. If you can accomplish this then you escape the room...Can you escape the room?

Our family has done escape rooms throughout the West Coast. Some are better, some are worse. This one is a definite do. We went along with our Covid cohort, 4 of whom had not done escape rooms in the past and tbh were downright leery of the whole concept. The first one we did, the escape from jail, took teamwork and problem solving skills of many types. They enjoyed it so much that we did a more difficult one the next day, the pirate one, which we found inventive, rewarding, and challenging. Both we escaped from within the allotted time, but needed a hint or two to do so. What made these rooms great were the quality puzzles (everything worked ) and the different types of problem solving involved (everyone participated). The owner kept close tabs so that if we needed help he was immediately there and knew what the issue was. The rooms were clean and there was only one group allowed at a time. The pirate room was one of the top 3 we have ever done. Highly recommend.
